The gimbal arms and locking mechanism appear intact, with original brass hardware showing good aged patination Mahogany Case
The box is crafted in solid mahogany with dovetailing at the corners, brass stop-hinges, and a front lock (key not visible). The interior of the lid shows remnants of the original instruction or maker’s label, now largely lost but still visible in outline — a common occurrence in working chronometers.
